After years of toil and fun, I've sold the trawler and bought a beautiful ketch - Arctic Rose

This blog is about the progress I made with Lady Jane and the start of a completely different lifestyle with Arctic Rose, and other fun stuff.

RIB in action

I thought I'd show a picture if the RIB (HBI) in action, and yes, that's me driving it.

The picture was taken by Fred, just as John was lining Lady Jane up for her mooring. I, meanwhile, was about go pick up her forward mooring line, previously left on the buoy, to hand back to Fred on board.

I'll be the first to admit that it's not the prettiest rib in the river, but that extra horsepower, compared to the old sow, sure helps nudge Lady Jane around.

It's also much more fun out on the water than the old sow.

Now the choice is whether to keep using the rib (better), or to start using the old sow again (cheaper).
